The world of video games never stands still, and we're here to help you hit the pause button and take a look around! This week we consider the success and long-term fortune of Red Dead Redemption 2. We send LeGrande ON LOCATION* for his report of BlizzCon 2018, and things are a little wild there! We talk about big business and private developers and their future, and we bid a sad farewell to Mario.** We cover new releases and the month's freebies, and we reminisce about the good old bad times of gamer outrage.
